2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2 (NIV)

So I had finished my Tuesday’s blog late Sunday night and on Monday morning I was reading the bible, as I do every day, and discovered the error in my blog. After having re-written the blog that morning, which is a feat for me, I went about my day doing house work and later would run some errands. Then Monday afternoon while running some errands for my parents I realized that this is not the blog I was suppose to write so here is the third and final blog for this week. I really need to listen to the Holy Spirit better.

The world has become a hostile place there is so much anger and prejudice. The bible tells us that these things are to happen but it’s so scary to see it happening. I can’t help that feel that Christians are in the middle of it as we are sent to do God’s work and ministry. Sometimes I get persecuted by my Christian peers and sometimes non-believers persecute me for my faith and my skin color. Among this hatred, anger, and prejudice I am thankful that I have found Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. My life is so much better as a Christian…it’s not easy to be a Christian but life is certainly a lot better as a Christian. These are the scriptures that I always keep in mind during those most difficult times.

10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Matthew 5:10 (NLT)

And

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5:44 ESV

Great words to live by while being persecuted but I found this quote from a great man that I just have to share with you.
